Nylon fibers are used as strengthening material to increase the mechanical properties of concrete.In thisstudy mechanical properties of concrete containing latex modified nylon fiber reinforced concrete wasassessed with fractional substitution of cement by flyash for M40 grade concrete at 7 days, 14 days and 28days of curing. The dosage of fibres used in this study was 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.15% of volume fraction.Cement was replaced with fly ash at a percentage of 10%, 15%, 20% by weight. SBR latex was varied at arate of 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.15% to the total cementitious content in concrete. Cube, cylinder and prism specimensare tested to determine the compressive, split tensile and flexural strength at 7 days and 28 days curing.Results shows that Nylon fiber reinforced concrete with 0.15% of fiber, 0.05% SBR Latex with 10% hashigher influence on flexural strength, split tensile strength and compressive strength of concrete.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
